I can’t remember the last time I actively decided to make an apple pie. Nine times out of ten, I back into it, after noticing that a bunch of apples are going bad and I need to salvage them before they accelerate the rotting of everything else in the fruit bowl. That happened most recently this past weekend — I had a single Pillsbury pie dough in the freezer, and decided we probably only needed a smaller-scale galette since it was just going to be three of us. I also thought those of you whose holiday tables are seating fewer people this year, and how maybe you might want to hear about the apple bundling technique for the filling, an easy way to make it feel special.
